Schoolyard terrorists, the next breed of terrorists
By Sam Martin

In Kay Chirichigno's upcoming book, "Charles Andy Williams and the Santana High School Shooting Story", she predicts, identifies, and profiles the next breed of schoolyard shooters as "schoolyard terrorists" adept at nuclear, biological and chemical attack. "With the September 11, 2001, World Trade Center terrorist attack, the acceleration of potential future schoolyard attacks using terrorists tactics went into overdrive," states Chirichigno.

Trees and Women
By Shoma A. Chatterji

One major motive which pushes women to plant trees is that they look upon trees as a means of financial support in case their husbands fail to support them.

Rape through Rophynil
"The Date Rape Drug"

by Wendy Wade

I woke with the man I had told the night before that I didn't want to be with; his penis in my mouth suffocating me with his weight.  My arms were lead, I couldn't move and I had no way of protecting myself.  While awake, there was the other man between my legs. Blackness.

Though sharing some of the not so nice stories is sometimes hard. The courage the writers share  helps those who can't speak up and those who otherwise wouldn't, understand.  Please tell your story.
